First grandkid - twins!

Welcome to Freya and Esme.
My first grandchild, Freya, was born the evening of September 10, followed immediately by her sister, Esme - fraternal twins.
The babies were each around 6.5 pounds. Due to the mother's elevated blood pressure, it was necessary to deliver via cesarean. Later, my daughter had some hemorrhaging and required a blood transfusion. But all is well now and mom, dad, and babies are headed home. Ironically, my daughter's room was overlooking an anchorage just north of Navy Pier in downtown Chicago.
